I tride create index template with ilm policy.  
My logsatsh output has

```auto
index => "logstash-logs-lb-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"

```

Index template with config

```auto
PUT _template/logstash-logs-lb
{
  "order": 0,
  "index_patterns": [
    "logstash-logs-lb-*"
  ],
  "settings": {
    "index": {
      "lifecycle": {
        "name": "logstash-logs-lb",
        "rollover_alias": "logstash-logs-lb-alias"
      },
      "number_of_shards": "2",
      "priority": "200",
      "number_of_replicas": "1"
    }
  }
}

```

When I start up my logstash I got whery strange index which contain my ilm policy but replicas and shards count is wrong.

```auto
{
  "settings": {
    "index": {
      "lifecycle": {
        "name": "logstash-logs-lb",
        "rollover_alias": "logstash-logs-lb-alias"
      },
      "refresh_interval": "5s",
      "number_of_shards": "1",
      "provided_name": "logstash-logs-lb-2020.11.29",
      "creation_date": "1606682711526",
      "priority": "100",
      "number_of_replicas": "1",
.....
      }
    }
  },

```

Why?

There will be a message in elasticsearch log when the index was created listing all templates that were applied at creation. Check that the template mentioned was the only template applied.
